The IRS Return Preparer Office recently sent emails to 390,000 unenrolled return preparers regarding the voluntary Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP). The AFSP is a voluntary program geared towards non-credentialed tax return preparers and gives them a way to stay up-to-date on new tax law and changes. Tax preparers who choose to participate will receive an AFSP - Record of Completion and listing in the IRS's public database of return preparers.
